There are people who still care about the tech, and invest accordingly possibly those who got raiblocks sub 5 even 1 $ are these guys, scalability seems like an issue right now because of all the drama around bitcoin.
But; Market in general right now doesn't care about the tech. Market follows one trend, get rich quick, what is the next 10x coin ? And raiblocks can be that, tell people it's free transactions(I mean doge is also almost free to do txs too, and you can actually use it to transfer value between exchanges), Binance/ bittrex soon, Rebranding soon, and people will follow it blindly, just to buy the rumors and sell the news. I missed the dip of the dip, still paying attention to xrb, and will take a position, I don't care about the tech, or it's possibility to go mainstream, I'll ride the wave.
In terms of governance, and different multichain protocols, that'll be the flavor of february and possiliby march, maybe q2 depending on launch of certain assets. 0x aragon eth are holy trinity and I think we are likely to see "flipenning" this year too, at least until eos is released. But don't mention that yet :) I'm not satisfied with my positions on ant and 0x just yet :)
